The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) will take place from June 18 to 21 under the theme: 'Shared Values as the Foundation for Growth in a Multipolar World.' The forum will feature a dedicated 'Innovation Territory' zone and a national brand exhibition titled 'Buy Russian!'

President Vladimir Putin’s schedule at SPIEF is expected to be extremely busy, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters at a briefing. He noted that preparations are ongoing, and the president will remain in St. Petersburg for the final week leading up to the forum. “There will be many events and the agenda will be very intense,” Peskov said.
